My wife and I traveled the country for about 10 years in our motorhome. It was a wonderful part of my life.
From 2021: My dog died in March, so when I hit the road West in May, I borrowed my son Joe's dog ''Buster'' for company on the trip, Buster is a litter-mate of my dog Lily, now 15 years old and still as frisky as a much younger dog. 7 weeks on the road with a borrowed dog.

Mel had another showing the next day for all the studio employees, who loved the film, and based on that massive approval, execs relented and released the film. Made for under $3 million, the movie returned over $120 million the first year.

The Wagon Box Fight was the Army's first chance to claim victory after the 1866 Fetterman disaster, where Indian warriors equipped with modern lever-action Henry and Winchester rifles, killed 81 army troopers equipped with old single-shot Springfield rifles.
